We'll miss you, same-sex marriage vs. domestic partnerships.

Come back, Bill Ritter vs. Bob Beauprez.

We're not done with you, minimum wage.

And all those scandals big and small.

Thousands of readers responded to those issues and more during the election season at RockyTalk Live, the all-interactive-all-the-time area of RockyMountainNews.com.

We launched a political podcast tied to our popular The Stump feature. Each week, reporters gathered in a makeshift studio (a vacant office) to hash over the week's developments. If you missed them, they're available online. For the last one, seven of us converged on a single microphone. We looked (but didn't sound) like the Jordanaires getting ready to back up Elvis.

The early line: Many will be happy, many will not.

But all will have an opinion. Don't get left out.
